Another Massive Quake in Japan (Shizuoka)

[angrysoba]

I just felt it here in Osaka and it is in Shizuoka (near Mt. Fuji). This one is a strong six on the Japanese scale.

Something about tectonic plates all pushing together. It's complicated and I didn't pay enough attention in science class.

Oddly enough the Japanese made a film about this very topic in the 70's

Very informative. My question has been answered.

Not a very good one by the looks of the ratings.

I was going to say it reminds me of the cover of a sci-fi novel I saw in Interzone once called "Japan Sinks!"

But I notice that is an alternative name for the movie.I expect it was based on that novel.
